Concerned voters can do a lot to push back on large-scale solar projects on agricultural or forested land in Virginia. Utility-scale solar projects on big-box store rooftops or brownfield land is one thing. But utility-scale solar projects that destroy wildlife habitat and damage the ecological balance of Virginia waterways is another.
Here are some things you can do:
- Start a group to attend local government meetings, contact officials, and research projects.
- Spread the word to make sure everyone’s voice can be heard in the discussion.
- Share some of the resources and information from this website to make sure more Virginians are aware of the negative ecological impact of large-scale solar on our environment.
